Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Weinstein and his retinue of fellow pervs are coming to light all over. I know I am supposed to be horrified by this story, but my daughter and I laughed our @$$e$ off at it yesterday. we are not feminists.
No pushing at the door please!
I bet Obozo’s retinue is mucho pequeño ..............
morning
A+++ I don’t know as I’ve not been paying attention to him, but he still has plenty of fans.
The left won’t give Melania her due
They pick on her from hair to shoe
Her staff is four
Michelle needed more
It took sixteen in her retinue
A++++ they can’t possibly acknowledge that she is both beautiful and accomplished because of the ridiculous fiction they maintained that Michelle was the beauty! have you seen the ridic lib theories that Melania has a body double??? theres no end to their insanity.
Our Lovely First Lady
Has Beauty that’s True
And does not need
A massive “pit crew”
Unlike the previous
Occupant, Who
Charged the taxpayers
For a YUGE Retinue.
A++++ and it did her not the slightest bit of good because she still appeared in public looking like he!! quite often.
The number of optometrists jumping on the lasik procedure for revenue and sales to ever-younger kids and young “adult” children, will only force these patients later into another retina of specialists when their eyes and corneas age and stiffen.
You should be PUN-ished..................
A+++ I am too afraid of lasik to even contemplate it.
(Neutering this miscreant long ago would probably have been the best option ;-).
Fat finger PING
Mrs. Obama’s White House retinue was 6 times larger than Mrs. Trump’s and cost the taxpayers that much more.
I read that Michelle’s retinue was 24, not 16. Whatever! They had a much harder job than the current crew!
Mrs. Obama’s (> insert appropriate word here <)
was 6 times larger than Mrs. Trump’s and (Insert appropriate word again)
Harvey Weinstein, dropping his drawers, says to young actress: “I’m going to put this here thing retinue.”
Just got back from doing an estimate-just a gazebo to build, but every little bit helps-
Hillary plays the blame game
She says everyone was mean-
Those sexists and deplorables
Kept her from being the queen
On her new book tour she bashes
Those Russians and Comey too
As her fat ass waddles around
Followed by her whole retinue-
She hints at weird conspiracies-
Says pres Trump made her fall
And if he can just be removed
She would be crowned after all...
Looks like his whole retinue is turning on him:

This makes them doubly hypocritical. (Damned if you do, damned if you don’t?) They willingly violate a NDA to make themselves look good. Their careers are now shot, anyway, as no one will trust them as employees. And Weinstein could countersue or ask for the money back.
Well, dang. I missed class. Was on the run all day.
